Investment Overview

The SBI Pure Valuation-Profitability Stock Portfolio uses a proprietary methodology to identify and invest in a focused portfolio of no more than 20 stocks. Stocks are equally weighted and are rebalanced when one becomes significantly under or over weighted. There is no explicit market-cap constraint on the stocks considered for the portfolio, but the methodology favors smaller stocks. Funds are invested at least 95% in US stocks, with the remainder invested in cash. No attempt is made to anticipate and time broad market movements.

Each month, US stocks are screened based on balance sheet, projected earnings, revenues, dividends, price ratios, and trading volume. Those meeting the established criteria are then considered for inclusion in the portfolio.

A stock is sold and replaced when it fails to meet the established criteria. Price based selling criteria, such as stop loss orders, are not employed.
